AIO? My classmate reported me to the DEI office because I said I was “exhausted” during a group project and she claimed it was ableist
I am in a 4-person group project for my sociology class. Last Tuesday during our meeting I said “guys I’m exhausted, can we wrap this up?”
My classmate J went quiet immediately. The next day I got an email from the DEI office saying a complaint was filed against me for “ableist language” because apparently the word exhausted can be harmful to people with chronic fatigue conditions.

Decades of over diagnosis with mental disorders, safe spaces and DEI at universities has led us to a place where college students can’t even use the word “exhausted” without fear of retribution from the DEI bureaucracy.
